Nigerian who featured for 2009 champions Sofapaka Promise Chinonso is contemplating hitting the runaway back home after failing to secure a new club in the Football Kenya Federation Premier League.Chinonso was previously attached to Western Stima who have since rebranded to Kisumu United but left the team sunk to the second tier at the end of last season following their lackluster performance in the top tier.Stima’s relegation saw a host of players leave in search for greener pastures after the club was plunged into a financial fix thanks to the exit of their shirt sponsor and in line with their ambition to remain in the top league.Meet Promise Chinonso the Nigerian U21 who tormented K’Ogalo.

I am frustrated that I didn’t achieve my goals in the Kenyan league as envisaged by the time I jetted in. I would have wished to continue plying my trade here but sadly I have to leave as I haven’t found a new club, ” he said.Chinonso found his way into the Kenyan football in January last year when the 2009 league champions Sofapaka signed him Lagos Atletico FC.Despite marking his start of life at Sofapaka with a brace against Gor Mahia in a league fixture staged at Narok Stadium, his goal-scoring instincts dwindled, and was pushed out of the club last season.Sofapaka 3:1 Gor MahiaPromise Chinonso is our man of the match against Gor Mahia. @betikaKe @TheOfficialKPL #BatotoBaMungu pic.twitter.com/WOxoWV1yUW— Sofapaka FC (@FC_Sofapaka) February 11, 2020 He was joined on the exit door by his compatriot Michael Karamor who all joined Stima.
